Virginia Democrat County Official Facing Dozens of Charges For Embezzlement, Election Fraud

 

A Democratic county official in Virginia is facing a long string of charges against him including some related to alleged election fraud and embezzlement.

 

According to various reports, a grand jury indicted Buchanan County Supervisor Trey Adkins on May 2, according to WJHL-TV in Johnson City, Tenn.

 

According to the outlet, Adkins is facing 34 counts of making a false statement related to election fraud; 11 counts of violating absentee voting procedure; eight counts of public embezzlement; 11 counts of forgery of public records; 15 counts of uttering related to public records; and three counts of conspiracy to make a false statement related to election fraud.

 

According to court documents cited by the local news outlet, an investigation into the allegations has been ongoing for more than two years. The report also said that a prosecutor from neighboring Russell County was appointed to be a special prosecutor for the case, which also involves the Virginia State Police.

 

Russell County Commonwealth’s Attorney Zach Stoots has been on the case since the beginning.

 

“The Rules of Professional Conduct prevents any lawyer participating in the prosecution of a criminal matter that may be tried to a jury from making an extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows or should know will have a likelihood of interfering with the fairness of a trial by jury,” Stoots said in a press release. “Based on the Rules of Professional Conduct, my office will not be making any further statements on the pending matters.”

 

“According to the records, the jury found that the supervisor Trey Adkins falsified absentee ballots and forged signatures to win an election for public office,” WJHL reported.
